At a Glance: The SPAN Field dialog box

After opening a template to edit, you can open the SPAN Field dialog box by clicking on the SPAN Field button on the drop-down menu below the HotDocs button located on the HotDocs ribbon.

In the text field A you can enter a name for your span field or select an existing component from the drop-down menu. It is recommended that you use unique names when creating Span components so that when users save edited document text in answer files, the answer won't overwrite SPAN fields in other documents. You can click the Edit button B to enter more information about the SPAN Field. (See At a Glance: The Edit SPAN Field dialog box)
